WEST AFRICA PROPOSED LAW IN UGANDA WOULD SEND GAYS TO PRISON FOR 10 YEARS

In defiance of condemnation from human rights organizations, Ugandan legislators submitted legislation to the parliament that calls for severe additional punishments for same-sex relationships in a nation where homosexuality is already prohibited.

An accelerated process to pass the bill was initiated by Speaker of the House Anita Among, who forwarded it to a parliamentary committee for review.

According to Africa News, in a speech before parliament that was laden with homophobic language, she stated that there would be “a public hearing” in which sexual minorities would be permitted to participate.

“Let the public come express their views — including the homos — allow them to come,” she said.

POLISH MINISTER BLAMES ‘LGBT IDEOLOGY’ FOR CHILD SUICIDES

The Polish education minister, Przemysław Czarnek, claims that the “brainwashing” of “LGBT, neo-liberal, and neo-Marxist ideologies” is to blame for the surge in child suicide attempts, according to Notes From Poland. His suggested remedy is to promote traditional values, such as going to church, to aid young people in making a better distinction between right and wrong.

Poland has witnessed its largest even number of minor suicide attempts over the past two years, with 1,496 in 2021 and 2,031 in 2017. The latter figure was more than twice as high as the average for the years before 2021.

The problem’s root is the “powerful crisis of the family, the attack on it, on when in conservative Uganda, rumors on social media are spreading that shadowy international forces are encouraging homosexuality.

Christianity, on the church, on religion, on everything that distinguishes good from evil,” said Czarnek.

Anyone who partakes in same-sex conduct or “holds out” as LGBT might be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison under the new law.

The length of the parliamentary procedure is unknown.
